Description

First published in 1916, as the second edition of a 1913 original, this book presents an examination of the role and methodology of education. The text is notable for its enthusiasm for psychical theories and was written in the hope that the 'psycho-physical treatment of educational problems' could offer a clue to their satisfactory solution. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of education and the development of psychical ideas.
